Using YouTube Content ID API with PHP Library and getting 404 on their upload API endpoint

Question

I am using the YouTube Content ID API with their PHP Client Library. I have enabled the API in my console, and am using a YouTube Partner account.

$youtubePartner = new Google_Service_YouTubePartner($client);
$asset = new Google_Service_YouTubePartner_Asset();
$metadata2 = new Google_Service_YouTubePartner_Metadata();
$metadata2->{mymetadata};
$asset->setMetadata($metadata2);
$asset->setType("web");

$assetInsertResponse = $youtubePartner->assets->insert($asset);

There's some other stuff after involving policy and ownership, but it seems to be failing at this point:

Caught Google service Exception 404 message is Error calling POST https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/partner/v1/assets: (404)

If I hit that URL in my browser, I get a response (requires Auth). I've authorized everything correctly (it would give a different error message).

I'm using the YouTubePartner.php from https://developers.google.com/youtube/partner/client_libraries

Why would I be getting a 404 even though the URL is there? Is there something weird about this library or am I doing something fundamentally wrong here?

You need to be using v3 of the API. v1 and v2 have been deprecated. Docs here. — JAL
Are you sure? Because if you look at the ContentID API it shows the v1 link. developers.google.com/youtube/partner/docs/v1/assets/insert — Russell Ingram
Yeah, just tried hitting v3 instead and receieved: Caught Google service Exception 404 message is Error calling POST googleapis.com/youtube/partner/v3/assets: (404) — Russell Ingram

You should add onBehalfofContentOWner parameter in your requests. Here are samples: https://developers.google.com/youtube/partner/code_samples/php
